| RangersFan's Full Review: 2001 Ford Explorer Sport |
To all of those who dislike their SUV's, think again. This is finally a truck that lives up to the term SUV. After owning many cars, and not having any luck, I finally found a vehicle that is dependable. This is my second Explorer, and I love it. I purchased this one 4 months ago, and have only minor complaints. The only problems that I have had were paint related, and that was the dealers fault. Seems they scratched it when prepping the car for delivery. I feel that the value of this vehicle is better than average. The reliability is better than I have seen with other SUV's. I traded in my Pontiac Grand Prix Early and am completely satisfied. I have been reading a lot of other people's reviews, and am a bit confused.
I am reading about how uncomfortable, or how bumby, or how much this car uses gas, well just a few questions? This is a truck right? It is not supposed to be a car, correct? Knowing this why did you buy it if you are going to complain. There are a few things you should know about this truck before buying it. It is bumpier than a car, it does not get 25-30 miles to the gallon, and it will not do 0-60 in under 8 seconds, but then again, get the right setup and you can pull just about anything, drive through or over pretty much all that gets in your way, and feel confident that you have lots of vehicle around you.
The only major complaint I have is that it does rattle a little. However I knew that going in to it. That is what a truck does. As I see it, you pay for the power, and ability. All I can say for the skeptics is, if you are looking for a well-built, reasonably priced truck, this is it. If you want comfort, room, and gas mileage, buy a bigger truck, or get a luxury car, cause this aint it..
